As is the usual case, as of 8:15pm, all the politically-related questions on Page 1 of the HOT list were submitted by Conservatives.

Why does the Sodahead Staff hate Liberals?

In fact two of the questions are concerning the same topic.

Why does the Sodahead Staff hate Liberals?

Over the weekend, I had submitted a blog which had more responses than the top question on Page 1 of the HOT list. As the night went on, and I continued to get more responses, my question was moved from Page 2, to page 4. The next time I looked for it, it was on Page 12. In 19 hours, it had more activity than the Number 1 Question on Page 1 of the HOT list, which was going into it's second day and receiving little activity.

Why does the Sodahead Staff hate Liberals?

My blog has over 900 opinions, but never got the exposure that other questions with less activity received. I had to go to other questions and post the link to my question; that's how I got so many responses.

So I ask, why does the Sodahead staff hate Liberals? Do they want us to leave? Is there any shame, at all, in Sodahead staff's obvious attempt to control the agenda on what is described as:

" ... the premier opinion-based community where visitors discover,
debate, and discuss today's hottest issues. They share their unique
views on breaking news, hot topics and controversial issues and a
diverse panel of staff writers provide original and exclusive content
daily.

With that many angles, the discussions on SodaHead will open your eyes
to a panoramic view of your world that you won't get anywhere else,
allowing you to see the big picture and discuss it."

Sodahead is not being honest with the public. There is only one angle that is promoted on Sodahead, the agenda of Conservatives.

Hello,

Some members may feel that SodaHead is the site of an epic battle between left and right, where the only important content is political content from the left and right, and every action taken by SodaHead is influenced by some perceived politlcal "bias" that favors one political party over the other.

When we make decisions about changes to the site, or decisions on what to feature on the rotating "carousel" pages, politics doesn't enter the picture. Why would we want to alienate an entire political party and drive them away from the site? That wouldn't be good for our traffic.

The questions you are referring to have worked it's way to the 'Hot' section because of an alorithm that allows fresh/active stories with the most raves, comments, votes, replies, etc. Users voted them to the top -- SodaHead has no control over this. Questions with time stamps of 3-4 days older may not appear on the first page of the Hot section. Content that violates the Code of Conduct may be removed by SodaHead.

As always, please continue to produce good content and share your views with everyone -- there's room here for everyone's opinion, as long as we respect each other.

This is a whining poll. Deal with it, get over it. Sodahead is a minute (means small) part of your life. In the scheme of life, it isn't important, so why waste so much time on it? Have a lovely weekend

LEAVE ALREADY!

I don't hate liberals. I hate these posts!

You're working against a bias created by the users. You can't really complain about that.

You should go to Huffington Post. On HuffPo only right-wing people are censored. Hell, they're pre-censored there! At least here your posts can be seen and taken away or lost in the annals of SH. On HuffPo, they immediately say, "No thank you. We as liberals disagree with you and you are hereby unable to post that comment."

Go check it out. That's the way it is now. Every comment is moderated before it is posted. Makes the supposed fascism the left talks about on SH look like child's play by comparison.

Um...if she submitted something that had more responses than the top question, why isn't it on the hot list? Seems like a no brainer. Unless you engage in Orwellian New Speak. How do you define an element of the hot list?

I don't think the problem is with the site. I think the problem is with the people. For at least 50 years now we have lived under liberal philosophies - conservatives were politically in the minority. Many of the posters here have never lived under conservatism management of their government. They've been taught all their lives how horrible and mean conservatives are, and they naturally think it is so.

Conservatives, OTOH, after half a century, thanks to the internet and places like SH, finally have a voice - and the left HATES that. They honestly believe we are heretics, ogres, monsters. They think their way is the only CORRECT way. The left has had the major say for 50 years, and they expected to always have it. This little change is killing their psyches.
